Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Planning is instrumental to Lansing Community College's data-driven decision making model which integrates data, best practices through research, and quality.
Through the coordination of ad hoc, scheduled, operational, and institutional reporting, the department of Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Planning has established an institutional standard for data and reporting.
In addition to data extraction and reporting, the department:
- Facilitates program review
- Responds to internal and external data requests
- Manages state and federal reporting (IPEDS, ACS, etc.)
- Designs surveys for both institutional and departmental use
Additionally, the department supports the Strategic Planning and Partnerships division and Lansing Community College by taking key roles in strategic planning and quality by employing statistical models to find access capacity and solve pervasive institutional operations issues.
